This was just what our family needed for a vacation “stay place.” The condo is exactly as it appears in the listing online. The common area is spacious, so that everyone could spread out and have plenty of space for eating, screen time, napping, etc. The twin bed and double bed in the second room were perfect for the kids to have their own space, and the trundle under the twin was a fun addition. The laundry room was spacious, and there was everything there for a basic home experience (broom, mop, detergent, iron, ironing board, etc.) There were also plenty of extras to share like rolling carts, boogie boards, beach toys and floats, etc. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes and utensils, and we were relieved to see that they had a combo Keurig/traditional drip coffee maker. The balcony was spacious and the quality furniture was great - we actually spent a lot of time out there. The bathrooms were straightforward - clean, decent towels, good water pressure, counter space, and simply appointed with everything you needed and nothing you didn’t. (Be sure to bring your own toiletries, shampoo, soap, etc, in case you’re used to having that provided, hotel-style - that’s not a thing with this rental.) The ease of getting to and from the elevator, the parking deck, and the beach was a real plus. The proximity to a few restaurants (Runaway Island, Sharky’s, Amore Donuts, etc) was helpful, as was the nearness to the Alvin’s Island store and the Hidden Lagoon putt putt course. It was nice to walk to nearby places. Literally my only complaint is the master bed - it’s just a matter of personal preference. The bed is super comfy, but the pillow top mattress creates some “nests” that you can sort of sink into - just not what we’re used to. All the bedding, though, was soft, attractive, and clean.
This was a great choice for us - basic enough to feel like we were not in the lap of luxury, but clean, decorated, and well-appointed enough to make us feel completely comfortable, welcome, looked after, and relaxed…all the things we want to feel on a vacation. Not too little, not too much - JUST RIGHT!
Thanks for a great stay!
